CORPSECORPS Want to like it, but it's awkward as hell and showing it's age. The Shadows, Tools, distortions and transformations that can be set within the Viou window, to be applied to the icon going on top are great. Being able to choose a premade icon from a list of sets is an interesting feature conceptually, but unless one doesn't mind a hodgepodge of folder images, you're going to have to paste the same folder to every one on the system. I don't find this feature useful. Also, many premade folders are pre-Leopard and not really appropriate for cover-flow. The ability to add a 'logo' to the mix seems like an afterthought as it's position and size are fixed. THE BIGGEST LIMITATION of Viou is that the image being composited on top MUST be an icon within an application or already applied to a file. NO .icns FILES OR IMAGES ALLOWED! Given that restriction, the ability to "preview" images from the contextual menu seems out of place, as does the thumbnailing of mostly outdated PICT files. An easy way of getting an image or icon set from an .icns file composited with another icon, and applied to a disk or folder is one of the scarcest abilities in Leopard, so it's too bad this only operates on icons already applied to folders or apps. Rendering problems when moving some sliders and clicking check boxes. Mousing over "Add a logo" gives the tool-tip for "Expert Mode". Logo drop zone has no tool-tip, nor do the drop zones on the panel, and their exact functions are somewhat vague. When i dropped the wrong things on some of the regions, and then clicked 'Abort' or 'skip' in the error dialog, Viou consistently crashed the finder. (10.5.4) |
